Book Title: Comparative Biomechanics: Life's Physical World

Author: Steven Vogel

Book Description:

I have chosen this book because my research examines the interaction between physical and biological phenomena. Dr. Vogel is an unusually clear thinker and writer whose books have helped me to formulate my thinking about a wide range of problems. He also has a keen sense of humor that he weaves into his writing and examples; by doing so he shows how fun it can be to think deeply about the things around you.
